Hello everyone! I've been a long time reader but never actually had an account here or posted, time to change!
thought I'd let everyone know about my B+W rev1 G3 IDE experience, as I'm sure most of you are aware there are issues with these machines and newer drives, well I may have found a work around by using old style 40 wire IDE cables instead, I've got 2 machines that have been up solid for nearly 2 weeks now, one of which is serving a 24/7 webcam feed fomr Apache and show NO HDD CORRUPTION AT ALL, and this is on machines that previously were having issues within 10-15 mins of booting!
I've posted my experiences in my Blog (www.rabidwombat.co.uk) but ideally I'm wondering if any of you out there with rev1s could verify that it works for you too! I've only got 2 machines to test with but it seems to have worked on both.
If you need any more details on specs etc then please let me know but would be nice to know if it works for anyone else!
Thanks a lot!
Matt
